Hey everyone! My name is metalmoose and I retexture hair for The Sims 3. I retexture what I feel like playing with, but feel free to send me any suggestions!

'Cause Everyday's Like Talking In Your Sleep (Cazy Leigh Moose'd)

So like. Things are good. I'm finally catching up on all my homework and stuff. Feels good, man. I will soon be auditioning for another play though, so I hope it will go well.

I realized something today. I'm a texture snob. Like, I straight up cannot stand other people's textures. If I want a hair in my game, I HAVE to retexture/edit it. Let me tell you why. My shine actually looks like shine. Most other people's shine kind of looks like weird little streaks and stuff, and I do have the weird little streaks, but they are much smaller and much higher detailed. Also, my textures are in HD. All of my textures are double the resolution of everyone else's retextures/textures (with the exception of Gelydh) so they are compatible with HD graphics cards. Finally, I'm pretty positive that I'm the only creator (as far as I know) that doesn't have the 'skunk effect.' The skunk affect is when your hair has really gross white highlights in CaS, and there is no way to adjust them. I, on the other hand, do not have the skunk effect in CaS. I'm pretty sure even Anubis has that issue (and you know his work is ridiculously good, I'm not exactly sure how I avoid it).

Anyway, yeah. I've decided I'm awesome, and thank you to (some) of the people on MS3B for you kind words.

This hairstyle's name is based on Kimbra's Cameo Lover. I love this song. Also, I'm obsessed with Settle Down. Give 'em a listen.

Click to enlarge (also, its funny because my version is a smaller filesize than Cazy's original. Which is even funnier because my textures are twice the size):

YES, THIS IS CATCH PHRASE?
Hello Chillun, this hurrstyle is 9,332 polygons in lod0, and 4,459 polys in lod1. Most of you should be fine, my friends.
*This hairstyle is available for female toddlers - elder females. This retexture is default replacement, which means you may ONLY HAVE ONE VERSION in your game.*


DISCLAIMER: I did not mesh this, Cazy did. I think she's amazing and incredibly talented. I made the texture, though, if that matters.

This is where my face goes, we can be friends if you want. Also, you can comment or subscribe to my blerg.

Keep him by my side,
'Moosie

P.S. (Don't google pink sock): If you have any issues with my textures, please let me know so I can fix them. 
You can use my work for anything you like, but please give me credit if you're putting my hair in a bundled download. Please do not reupload, please don't steal textures. Credit isn't necessary but appreciated (unless stated above. Which it was).

I Thought I Knew You Well... So Well (Newsea ColorOfWind Moose'd)

So the play I was in closed last night. It was amazing, I felt so good about my performance, and people really liked me in it. It made me really happy, and all of a sudden I have a TON of time. So yeah, that's nice.

So I really like this hair a lot. Its basically what Equinoxe should have been, so it was nice to not have to fix this one. Feels good, man. (Also, I'm aware that the brown looks really REALLY shiny. I lost the color I normally use, and I had to redo it, and I definitely redid it wrong. It will be back to normal next retexture).

KETCH PHREZ.
This hairstyle is 11,122 polys in lod0, and 5,524 polygons in lod1. Most of you should be able to run it pretty well.
*This hairstyle is available for all ages, and is non-default, so you can have multiple versions if you're into that.*



DISCLAIMER: I didn't mesh this, the mesh was made by Newsea. The textures are mine though, I take credit for those.

I have a profile on a popular social networking site. If you want to be friends and stuff, that can be a thing. Also, if you like my stuff, you can subscribe or comment.

You sure have changed since yesterday,
Moosie

P.S.(Orangeya glad I didn't say banana?): If there are any problems with my work, let me know, and I will fix said problems. Just let me know, though, because I can't read your mind and stuff.
Do what you want with my work, but please give me credit if you're bundling my work in a download. Credit for anything else is not necessary, but greatly appreciated. Please don't steal my textures.

C'mon Baby Play Me Something Like 'Here Comes The Sun' (Newsea LastSupper Moose'd)

So I've been extremely busy because I've been doing my show, Anna Karenina, and it opens today, so STRESS. I did this hair a few days ago, but I never had time to post it until now.

I liked it, I didn't think it needed fixing aside from not having that GIANT beret, so I took it off. Also, in the way that I did it, I managed to make it a non-hat hair, and it still has all of the morphs and stuff. I feel magic.

This style's name is based on Metric's song Gimme Sympathy. Give them a listen, they're quite good.

ALRIGHT! CATCH PHRASE!
This hairstyle is 9,484 polygons in lod0, and 5,060 in lod1. Newsea has been very poly efficient lately, it is wonderful.
*This hairstyle is available for toddler-elder female, and is Non-Default, which means you can have multiple versions in game.*



DISCLAIMER: This mesh does not belong to me, I did not make it, but the textures are my own creation and belong to me and no one else.

I have a internet book where I will keep your face if you let me, but if not, you can also comment here or subscribe to my blog via the toolio that google has at the bottom of the page.

P.S.(What is green and has wheels? Grass. I lied about the wheels): If you have any issues with my retextures, please let me know, and I will fix whatever it is that needs fixing as soon as possible.
You can use my stuff for whatevah you liiiike, but please give me credit if you're including my work in a download. Please ask if you're using my version of a hairstyle (in the case of mesh edits, or in THIS case, mesh removals). No stealing of textures please.
